Dominic Cummings' rose garden confessional was a bold move designed to take the drama out of a crisis.
Tempers may have cooled slightly on the conservative backbenches, but there are still calls for him to go, both private and public. The man respected by Mr Johnson for judging the public mood has made himself famous for fouling foul of that opinion.

Driving your car to test your eyesight is not a good idea. Reporters should of teared in to him for this dangerous driving.
I'm pretty sure testing your eyesight by driving a 60 mile round trip, in order to ascertain whether you're able to drive 250 miles, is illegal, even worse under 'supposed' strict lockdown rules!!
On the upside, the situation could have been worse. Imagine if DC had to have driven through Snowdonia at Easter to get to his parents, he would have been stuck for hours in the log jam of parked cars and tailbacks. Perhaps he is not the only one guilty of being human.
So sick of this now. Why don't you ask the hypocrite Press swarming round his home, failing to social distance or wear masks, how they have the nerve to berate a man breaking social distancing, when they are guilty of the same thing.
Could his wife drive
Yeah, partly because those questions weren't even asked were they.. Vetted by the government obviously.
This is what Barnard Castle looks like in the eyes of Cummings
Amazing how his story only fitted around the sightings by the public? Why did he return to work after being with his wife who had covid symptoms before driving to Durham? Struggling to stand + with vision problems he drove to the hospital to pick up his family ?
What question was that, the meaning of life? You asked everything else see if he knows the answer to that.
UK heading to a dictatorship? Very worrying. With important negotiations ahead. Not good for the UK public interest, I wonder. Would love to hear an analysis by ianbremmer .
disgraceful sewer media trying to become as disgusting as CNN. Just stop. You are so annoying. I am Labour but happy about the decision. Also, leave the baby out of your trash reports. Please stop. Cummings did NOTHING wrong B 🇬🇧O 🇬🇧R 🇬🇧I 🇬🇧S 🇬🇧Best Prime Minister
Was the question: Why did one of your reporters call him a dick whilst live on air?
Surely that's up to Boris and not the media wolf pack who only want blood because for once people realise the media and journalists have there own agendas THEY DO NOT REPORT THEY PREACH
His seat as closest to hell! It was hit. He brought it under control somewhat!
scumedia and the go together like man and woman. Perfect in every way.
Would love to know how many of journalist have second homes, or families with vast estates🤔. They pretend they're like the average Brit. This is a WitchHunt and the media is making a mockery of the COVID__19 situation by targeting one person who actually had the virus.
The fundamental question of when the government is going to scrap the BBC licence?
sick of hearing it there is other news we want to hear like scrapping the license
not as far as you are concerned
You lost, get over it! ScumMedia
So people didn’t go to there loved ones funerals or get to say goodbye In person or left there elderly relatives alone in isolation because that’s what you told us to do but because we’re not as smart as him to know the guidelines he can do whatever he wants
The media think that they can hound anyone out of a job. Camping outside peoples houses whipping up hatred. The media killed Caroline flack he might have questions to answer but the media love to divide this country
Most of it was false. He made up his own truth and excuse. It’s so bizarre and clear as day he is making up stories to justify his actions. Yet he is get backed by more people that lie. How this isn’t damaging or he isn’t being removed from post is beyond me.
Do what we do with the rest of them ,small change fine , and move on ,
The harassment continues mediascum
Listen
DRIVING WITHOUT DUE CARE AND ATTENTION, the one point missing, if he thought he was not fit enough to drive through bad eyesight, is that not an offence?
Gabe55Gabe One question, if his wife hadn’t started to show apparant symptoms would the trip to Durham still have taken place?
So having been given clear and detailed answers which for most of us end this saga, bbcnews desperately tries to keep the story going by coming up with a new 'fundamental question' that 'has' to be answered. Appalling excuse to remain camped outside this man's home. BeKind
It answered everything. Were you not listening? It also answered the question of “can we bully the government into reversing Brexit?” In case you didn’t hear the answer, it was a resounding “NO” and rightly so! Move on.
What! From all those professionals there, with all their vast experience and knowledge, not one of them asked the fundamental question in the hour and a half he sat there answering questions? We need new journalists then surely!
Started with a lie of how he was sorry for being late, bullshit it was planned. More like a script from Little Britain 😂
Who cares move on. This is not a communist state and the press are not here to police our movements.
Funny, I don’t remember you asking a fundamental question during the press conference for him to answer...
If you wanted the answer to a fundamental question you should have asked the fundamental question instead all the MSM asked the same question so we had to listen to the same answer for an hour
YES IT DID ScumMedia
Stop this witch hunt. He didn't break any laws. There are far bigger things to worry about than this. Why aren't you reporting the huge number of illegal immigrants crossing the Channel daily in boats
Why was he as an unelected government advisor given a press conference? What is going on here? He broke the rules several times, has a disregard for the public and should have been fired! Simple!
ScumMedia
Oh shut up!! Enough already... any other news out there... ? boring
What a seriously poor article.
The facts need to continue to be reported, he took more than one none essential trip, including by his own admission a drive with impaired vision and he is completely unapologetic. Disgraceful for a man in his position. Needs to go!
The only question DC didn't answer is there life after death
If only the BBC had sent a journalist to ask the right questions...
Ffs give it a rest
Such as in fight between tiger and lion which would win?
The ScumMedia have misread the public, you pieces of filth think you can try and ruin people’s lives if you don’t agree with their politics, the next thing Cummings should do is push Boris to scrap the license fee. ScumMedia
Do me a favour, let's please move on. There are far more important news stories than a political/media campaign against Dominic Cummings. What's happening in the rest of Europe with Coronavirus? BBC please get going and report the news
If it’s a fundamental question, then why didn’t you ask it when you had the chance, bbclaurak ?
I've long thought MSM was a joke, but it's not funny now. It's become toxic and dangerous. ScumMedia
Which is why are the British press still allowed to bully people so much without any recourse?
He did I’m bored now move on to next victim
indyDarling1 'Fouling foul' does nobody proofread the shit she writes? bbclaurak
Did Cummings break rules ...YES Did he lie about it....YES Is he a pratt .. . YES. Will rehashing it on Twitter change anything......NO
Is this the position of the BBC? And what on earth possessed you lot to think we care about your position? Your job is to report the bloody news, not 'interprete' them for us, thank you very much.
Really! I think he answered them all, but you wolves still aren’t happy, I do hope the BBC goes under so I don’t have to pay for a tv licence for this drivvle,
....'why is orange jam called marmalade!'
😂😂😂 not fundamental for the media, i was perfectly fine with it fundamentally as a viewer.
Your star reporter was at the Press Conference. Did she have the gumption to ask this question? Or has it taken you folks 12 hours to figure out what question to ask?
ScumMedia
Much to the chagrin of the BBC, we voted for Brexit then gave Boris a historic mandate to get Brexit done. Wiping out the Remoaners. Boris has only been in a short while & Cummings a part of his team. We don’t care if DC is right or wrong. This is a political hit job scummedia
Yes. Why don’t they comply with the government guidance when covering the story about the person who helped draft the government guidance about him breaching the government guidance by travelling across the country when infected?
Outside adviser guidelines outside lockdown rules there are still more questions than answers and the story so far does not have credence
Bowiesexual1973 Seriously- what is the point of all the sacrifices we have made if people like him just get to do whatever they want with the full support of the government- he IS the government. Britain is fundamentally broken.
Big mistake by Boris. When answering a question from Laura Kuenssberg, he started by thanking “my honourable friend”. What a wally. She is not a Conservative MP. Yet.
It didn’t answer many, if any let’s be real
ScumMedia
Yesterday's press briefing, the Journalists invited were all left wing, who tried to assist in the take down of Dominic Cummings. The only capital that went down was theirs & especially that of PippaCrerar her paper DailyMirror & the failing guardian ObserverUK
It did answer questions, all you have to do is take out all the implausible stuff and your left with the truth.
Stop politicising everything. It's only a bunch of politicians being useless at politics.
Come on guys d guy is not a murderer - he's been hailed over d coals n had to go through a brutal press conf - a mistake or an error of judgement cannot be enough to make him resign ! People now baying for his blood r ones who have an axe to grind against him n see an opportunity
He came across as a bungling idiot
JohnsonHasFailed
if your own reporters don't ask the right questions you won't get the right answers !
How big is his bladder? The country deserves to know!
Why is the main stream media so pathetic?
The ScumMedia are the story now BBC. DefundtheBBC
Well, didn’t anyone ask these mysterious “fundamental questions” today?
Cummings when told the public are not happy:
Let's face it, we were never going to get answers from a narcissistic, borderline psychopath. Watch the smile as he left the 'press conference'. That smile indicates contempt for those questioning him, with an air of superiority. It's all a game to him. He enjoys the notoriety
Many NHS care workers died for nothing. Many obeyed the lockdown rules for nothing even at their great loss. But the lies of Dominic Cummings is a national disgrace to the govt and the world can see how the ppl are treated differently from those in politics.
Why didn't ask those questions then? And if they did, what was missing in the answer? You guys are supposed to be good at this kind of thing, no?
